n(%)j UR SURROUNDINGS When the students of Bedford High ore not within the walls of BHS, their lives take them in many direc- tions. While some people remain around local spots on weekends and vacations, most students agree that one has to look beyond the boundaries of Bedford to find more exciting places. One popular place to go is. weather permitting, the beach. Whether it ' s on the coast of Maine, the South shore, or Cape Cod, the beach holds a great attraction for all the teenagers of BHS. If not on the ocean, many kids spend their beach time on many of the lakes of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massa- chusetts, the most well known being Lake Winnepasaukee. Another frequented place is of course, Boston. Quincy Market is by far the favorite place to shop, browse, and just people watch. Copley Place, which just opened in the past year, has also become a mam attraction, although on a high school budget most kids just window shop. In the winter, if you look around Bedford trying to find students of BHS. you won ' t be successful Winter brings snow, and snow skiers The slopes of Woterville Valley. Nashoba Valley. Breton Woods, and Mt Kill- ington are traditionally packed with herds of BHS students Friday ' s classes are usually, to the teacher ' s consternation, class discussions dealing with where the best packed powder is going to be that week- end. Because Bedford is not a terribly exciting town for teens and doesn ' t have much to keep kids enter- tained after school hours, these areas mentioned have become very familiar and have been the sights of happy memories for many of BHS ' s students. 1) The Esplanade presents the statue of Ar- thur Fiedler 2) MdrDiehead. soiimg capita of Massachu- setts 3) The sfdlness of Fawn Lake m the fan 4) Governnnent Center - a farrxjus meeting p ace 5) A little Bedford history 6) Quincy Market attracts the tounst SURROUNDINGS
